On the emotion after CB Darius Slay forced a fumble late in the fourth quarter: “It’s kind of one of those things where it just kind of hurts every kind of momentum if you’re the opposing team because you’re about to start driving and everything and that happens. It just kind of takes you out and then you have to try and go back and do it again.”
On how big of a win this was: “Big, you know, just one of those where we just had to keep fighting and fighting until the end and we were able to get the W.”
On playing through injuries: “Yeah, we had people go down left and right, but you know, our team is resilient. It’s one of the things that Coach Caldwell tells us, you know, is to keep fighting no matter who’s in, whoever goes down. That’s why we have so many people that get reps in practice and everything because it allows us in game situations like this to just everyone keep playing no matter what.”
On how they were able to force Eagles QB Carson Wentz into throwing his first interception of the season: “Pressure on the quarterback and DB making a play, good play on the ball.”
